Hi Septenary,
The learning curve in IL-2 can be quite steep. I have played this game for a considerable time and I am still learning, still not always flying at the highest difficulty level. In other words, patience and perseverance are important here.
A good plane to start with, at least in my opinion, is the P-40. In any case, learn the strengths and weaknesses of your aircraft of choice and learn how to use them. Some planes are fast, but not very agile, others can turn on a dime, but are slower than most of their opponents. All of these aspects matter.
Check the knowledge base on this site. I think, over at mission4today there was a guide to online play that detailed the characteristics of individual aircraft and of how to use them online quite nicely.
Good luck and stick with the game,
RB
